MPS Engineering & Construction

Education and Institutional Construction

MPS Engineering & Construction has extensive experience working with educational institutions and government agencies, delivering high-quality projects tailored to their unique operational needs. Our commitment to efficiency, safety, and minimal disruption makes us a trusted partner for schools, universities, and public institutions.

Clients and Experience

Our list of past clients includes:

  • Charleston County School District
  • University of South Carolina
  • Charleston Aviation Authority
  • National Parks Service
  • South Carolina Aquarium
  • South Carolina Department of Parks and Tourism
  • Town of Mount Pleasant
  • City of Charleston

Each of these organizations operates within a structured environment where construction must be carried out with careful planning to avoid disruptions. Schools and universities require a quiet and safe atmosphere for students and staff, while government institutions must ensure that public services remain fully functional during construction activities. At MPS, we have developed strategies to address these challenges effectively, allowing us to deliver projects efficiently while maintaining the integrity of the facilities we work on.

Understanding Educational and Institutional Needs

MPS has successfully completed a range of projects for educational institutions, from classroom and facility renovations to large-scale infrastructure improvements. Our experience with school districts and higher education institutions has given us a deep understanding of the importance of working within academic schedules, often completing major renovations during summer and holiday breaks to avoid disrupting daily operations.

For government clients, we recognize the challenges of working within highly regulated environments where public safety and operational continuity are key concerns. Our experience in working with national parks, municipal facilities, and public attractions has provided us with the expertise necessary to navigate complex logistical and compliance requirements. Whether it is preserving the historical integrity of a site, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, or coordinating with multiple stakeholders, we approach every project with the highest level of professionalism and attention to detail.

Minimizing Disruptions

One of the primary challenges in educational and institutional construction is minimizing disruptions. Schools, universities, and government buildings remain operational during construction, requiring careful coordination to ensure that activities such as teaching, public services, and administration can continue without interference. We take a proactive approach to project planning, scheduling work during off-peak hours and implementing noise-reduction strategies to create as little impact as possible.

Prioritizing Safety

Safety is a top priority in every project we undertake. In educational settings, where children and young adults are present, we take extra precautions to ensure that construction zones are secure and that all safety regulations are strictly followed. Our team implements site-specific safety plans that include controlled access points, temporary barriers, and strict compliance with local and national safety standards. We also conduct thorough risk assessments before beginning any project to identify and mitigate potential hazards.

Historic and Environmental Sensitivity

For projects involving historic sites or environmentally sensitive areas, we take additional measures to ensure that our work does not compromise the integrity of the location. An example of this is our work at Fort Sumter, where we carefully planned the removal of construction debris while adhering to strict historical preservation guidelines. In projects like these, we coordinate closely with preservation experts and regulatory agencies to ensure that construction activities align with conservation goals and legal requirements.

Efficiency and Project Management

Efficiency is another key factor in institutional construction. Many of our clients operate within tight budget constraints and require projects to be completed within strict timelines. MPS has a proven track record of delivering projects on schedule and within budget, thanks to our well-structured project management approach. We work closely with our clients to establish clear expectations, monitor progress at every stage, and quickly address any challenges that arise. By utilizing modern construction methods and technologies, we can streamline workflows and enhance the overall efficiency of our projects.

Commitment to Sustainability

MPS is committed to sustainability in all aspects of our work. Many of our institutional clients have specific sustainability goals, whether it be energy-efficient building designs, the use of environmentally friendly materials, or reducing waste during construction. Our team incorporates green building practices into our projects whenever possible, helping our clients achieve their sustainability objectives while also improving the long-term efficiency and functionality of their facilities.
